Amusing things to say to telemarketers

Although, what I someday want to do is pretend to f@p when a telemarketer calls. See his response when I start moaning loudly, then tell him to hang on, the phone's a little sticky, let me clean it up.

OMG!! BUWHAHAHAHHAHA

I use to work at a call center, we did inbound technical support, but there was another section that did outbound telemarketing calls.. I think a lot of people are a little too hard on telemarketers .. they are really just doing their job.. from what I have seen most of them hate to call people as much as people hate them calling... take that into consideration the next time you tell off or make jokes about a telemarketer.

It's the companies who are making them call that is to blame.. they are just doing their job to get a pay cheque just like anyone else

Sorry, no pity from me. No one forces them to take a job where they know 90%+ of customers will be annoyed by the calls.
